A hypothesis proposes a mechanism of change that can be tested. If the results indicate the hypothesized mechanism is not the one in operation it narrows the field and we know more. A falsified hypothesis tested by a well designed experiment still provides real evidence about the world. 

<span>It was once thought that maggots spontaneously arose from carrion. This was tested and falsified providing evidence this was not how new generations of flies appeared. This still left the question of how flies generated new life to be explored. One falsified hypothesis does not block further research into the question.

</span><span>Even a failed hypothesis can increase scientific knowledge if done correctly. By knowing this hypothesis is not how something works, you save time for future scientists and can now use your effort in other investigations. That is the real value of hypothesis that are not supported by evidence.</span>

A hypothesis is an educated guess. Your data might not match your hypothesis because like i said, a hypothesis is a guess. Your data is multiple experiments to prove whether your guess was right or wrong. The hypothesis is valuable because because it gives you a reason to prove something right or wrong. Not sure how helpful that was but it's what i can think of...

In still​ water, a boat averages 18 18 miles per hour. it takes the same amount of time to travel 16 miles 16 miles ​downstream,
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
   Let's create a few equations:
 Traveling with the current:
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   Traveling against the current:
 (18 - c)*t = 8

   Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16

   Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   (18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
 Divide both sides by t
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0

   Now solve for c
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 18 - 3c = 0
 18 = 3c
  6 = c

   So the current is 6 mph.
   Let's verify that.
 (18 + 6)*t = 16
 24*t = 16
 t = 16/24 = 2/3

   (18 - 6)*t = 8
 12*t = 8
 t = 8/12 = 2/3

   And it's verified.</span>

A steel pot has a bottom with a cross sectional area of .1m2 and has a thickness of 1cm. The pot is filled with boiling water an
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

840000 J/min

Explanation:

Area = A = 0.1 m²

Bottom of pot temperature = 200 °C

Thermal conductivity = k = 14 J/sm°C

Thickness = L = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Temperature of boiling water = 100 °C

From the law of heat conduction

Q = kAΔT/L

⇒ Q = 14×0.1×(200-100)/0.01

⇒ Q = 14000 J/s

Converting to J/minute

Q = 14000×60 = 840000 J/min

∴ Heat being conducted through the pot is 840000 J/min
